This data comes from the outbreaks package, specifically documenting the 2013 outbreak of Influenza A (H7N9) in China. The data includes case information, such as the onset of symptoms, hospitalizations, outcomes, and demographic information for each patient.
The Influenza A (H7N9) outbreak in China was a significant public health event. The H7N9 virus primarily affected the respiratory system and was known for its ability to cause severe pneumonia. While most human infections with H7N9 were linked to exposure to live poultry, the outbreak sparked global concern about potential human-to-human transmission.
The outbreak highlighted the importance of rapid epidemiological data sharing, robust public health systems, and the need for pandemic preparedness to contain future flu outbreaks.
The data used in this dashboard is publicly available through the outbreaks R package. It is maintained by epidemiologists and health professionals to track and analyze historical outbreak data for research and public health purposes.
This outbreak data can be explored further in research articles and health organization databases.
